When Barbara H. submitted her “A-1 Story” last month, we knew we had another winner! Here is the story she shared about her experience at A-1 Self Storage in Concord, CA:
” A-1’s attention to detail with respect to customer service is outstanding and was the most important factor in my decision to rent an A-1 unit. Finding the right storage storewasveryimportant to me because that is where my possessions will be “living”. Aftera rigorous comparisonof fourlocalstorage facilities all within 5 minutes of each other, A-1 was the undisputable winner. Customer serviceis top notch and provided by the most welcome, professional and efficient manager, Mark. He was absolutely committed to my finding exactly the right size and affordable cost for my particular needs. Aftercompleting the paperwork andpurchasing a circular lock,Mark walked me to my new storage unit,watched while I practiced unlocking and unlocking the unit, showed me how to enter my code number at the gate, and assured me that he would be availablefor assistance should I need it. One thing that really impressed me wasthe cleanliness of the entire property. Thenature of my work requires frequent visits to mystorageunit and it is clear that the whole facilityis very well maintained. For interior units, the hallways areunobstructed andautomatically and brightly lit by sensors. There are also safety mechanisms that detect unauthorized entry. Moreover,in addition to the convenienceofelevators and flat dollies for transporting storage items, A-1 also will provide a free truck to unit renters when needed. The main office ofmy local A-1 is immaculate and customer friendly with complementary pens, assorted candies, water cooler, and chairs as well asa very attractively displayed array of products for both moving and storage. From my first inquiry by phone to my current frequent usage of my unit, the entire experience has been welcoming, convenient and completely stress free. Based on my experience, I would not rent a unit anywhere other than A-1.”

Founder Terrence R. Caster on site for construction
We are proud to announce that we’ve started construction on a 96,236 square foot A-1 Self Storage Facility in the Imperial Beach community located at 845 Hollister Street, San Diego, CA. This new location is scheduled to open in December of 2016.
The addition of this A-1 Self Storage location will help to meet the storage needs of the Imperial Beach community and its neighbors. Customers will be able to rent a unit using our state-of-the-art online rental platform, or visit the office 7 days a week. With some of the longest access hours in the area, customers will be able to access their storage units from 6am – 10pm every day. A-1 Self Storage makes renting a storage unit convenient.
“We look forward to opening our newest A-1 Self Storage location in Imperial Beach, making it our nineteenth store in the San Diego market,” said Brian Caster, President and CEO of A-1 Self Storage. “Given its prime location off Palm Avenue, this property possesses great potential.”
A-1 Self Storage is the self storage division of the Caster Group, a third generation family owned company headquartered in San Diego, California serving local communities since 1959. The Caster Group is looking throughout California and Texas to purchase raw land, existing facilities, projects in fill-up and projects that are entitled but not built. If you have any of these opportunities, please contact Bryan Underwood via e-mail at bunderwood@castergrp.com or call 800-219-4854 ext. 164.
